Abstract This paper describes our reconstruction of the apparatus used in C.S. Peirce and Joseph Jastrow’s 1885 psychophysical experiment, “On Small Differences Sensation” how it relates to persistent questions scientific theories measurement. We situate work broader context nineteenth-century discussions about status psychology as a science emphasize role measurement experiment determining tha...

Human Factors are stable psychological, psychophysical, and physiological limits that influence the performance safety of technical systems managed by humans. Roads made for human use, but nowadays not completely on a scale. Many studies demonstrate key factor in accident occurrence thus it is mandatory to consider them definition design standards. This research provides methodological approach...

In this paper, we present a novel methodology on document image analysis (DIA) which harnesses the mechanism of preattentive visual guidance in human vision. Summarizing the psychophysical research on preattentive vision, we suggest using two types of computations to simulate this biological process: the visual similarity clustering and visual saliency detection. Based on the computational impl...

The adaptive experimentation methodology has been adopted in visual psychophysical modeling in the pursuit of efficiency in experimental time and cost. The standard scheme only optimizes one design in each experimental stage, although simultaneous optimization of multiple designs per stage can be beneficial, but difficult to implement because of a surge in computation. In this study, we incorpo...

This work concerns the developing of new perceptual metrics for 3D watermarking quality assessment. Any watermarking algorithm, to be effective, requires that the distortions it inevitably introduces into the watermarked media is imperceptible. This requirements is particularly severe for watermarking of 3D objects where the visual quality of the original model has to be preserved, i.e. the vis...
